I’m not new to Azelaic acid use. I recently changed to SF one as I was changing my whole skincare to SF after seeing good results with one of their products. But I must say this azelaic acid is a must get. 1st because is anhydrous (without water) it gives a waxy (not oily) feel which my combination dry acne prone skin loves and keeps my acne at bay. I glow at 43 than I ever did in my 30’s. Staple now in my regime. Glad I switched over to SF.

Overall, amazing product! Had to go quite slowly with this one, even though I do not have overly sensitive skin, but well worth it in the end!
